Amine-functionalized MIL-101(Cr) fibers for direct air capture at cold temperatures using rapid temperature vacuum swing adsorption
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL(2023)
摘要
Given that most of the world shows annual temperatures lower than 25 degrees C and some regions exhibit a large diurnal temperature difference in a single day, it is desirable to explore the CO2 sorption behavior of materials not only at ambient (25 degrees C) but also at cooler, "sub-ambient" conditions (defined here as < 25 degrees C). These cold temperatures may offer advantages for DAC such as higher gas adsorption capacities and lower absolute humidity, reducing concomitant water adsorption. Here, amine-functionalized MIL-101(Cr) fibers are evaluated at cold temperatures using rapid temperature vacuum swing adsorption (RTVSA). MIL-101(Cr)/cellulose acetate fibers loaded with macromolecular amines are evaluated as practical gas-solid contactors. As spun MIL-101(Cr) fibers show desirable properties for use as structured contactors such as high permeance and low pressure drop. Breakthrough and RTVSA experiments are conducted in the presence of humidity at sub-ambient temperatures to understand the CO2 adsorption and desorption behavior of the sorbent/contactor under conditions approaching practical operation. With optimized amine loading, the PEI-MIL-101(Cr) fibers give CO2 capacities comparable to the powder form of the sorbent, as well as sharp breakthrough curves at fast flow rates (1.4 m/s superficial velocity) suggesting the system is not limited by additional mass transfer resistances under the tested conditions. RTVSA shows fast desorption kinetics (14.4 mmol of CO2/g of fiber/h) at moderate desorption conditions, at 0.1 bar vacuum with temperatures below 80 degrees C. The entire cycle during RTVSA finishes in similar to 25 min with similar to 76 mol% CO2 purity as the product in this initial, modestly optimized study.
